I was thinking, what part of HN comments do you think are already AI-generated? As a human, I cannot give an accurate estimate. /joke
Who cares if the comments are good enough?
Stack Overflow questions are being flooded with answers from ChatGPT

#32It seems like there are a few potential negative consequences of using AI-generated answers on Stack Overflow. For one, the quality of the answers may be lower than if they were written by a human. Additionally, if these AI-generated answers become too common, it could potentially lead to a more impersonal and less supportive community on Stack Overflow. Finally, if the AI is able to search the internet and "inbreed"…
You can kinda tell it's ChatGPT by how verbose and repetitive the writing is.

Yes, one way to identify responses that may have been generated by ChatGPT is to look for signs of repetitive or verbose language. Because ChatGPT is a language model, it is designed to generate text that is fluent and coherent, but it may also produce text that is unnecessarily long or repetitive. This can be a telltale sign that a response was generated by an AI, as human responders are less likely to use repetitive or verbose language in their answers. Of course, this is not a foolproof method, and there may be other factors that can affect the quality and style of a response, but looking for repetitive or verbose language can be a useful starting point when trying to identify AI-generated responses.

#34We need to start developing software to detect AI responses. To detect a response generated by ChatGPT, we could first analyze the content of the response to see if it contains any unnatural or repetitive language. We could also check the formatting of the response to see if it follows the typical conventions used by human responders on the platform. Additionally, we could check for any unusual patterns in the timest…
Your answer sounds like a ChatGPT one. It's actually not hard to tell.

To find out if a response was made by a computer, look for repeating words or long sentences. ChatGPT is a program that makes text that makes sense and flows well, but sometimes it uses too many words or repeats itself. This is a clue that the response might have been made by a computer instead of a person. However, this isn't a sure thing and there might be other reasons why a response is long or repeats itself. Still, it's a good place to start.

That's just its default setting. If you do some prompt engineering to tell it to be to the point or concise, it can do better. E.g. I got:
The repercussions of ChatGPT flooding Stack Overflow with answers could include decreased quality and relevance of answers, decreased user engagement, damage to the platform's reputation, and potential loss of revenue.

#37And so it begins. Welcome to the new internet.
I'm bracing myself for when this wave of AI content hits academic journals.

This is fun but it's already starting to NOT be fun.

Before reading any words, I guessed just by seeing how long the paragraph was.
Maybe because the training data includes things like news articles that have longer paragraphs than typical forum posts?
